The Liga MX match between Atletico San Luis and Club Leon will take place at Estadio Alfonso Lastras on Friday at 6:30 am IST.
The Liga MX play-in round begins on Thursday, featuring a match between Atletico San Luis and Club Leon at Estadio Alfonso Lastras. The victor will progress to the Apertura quarter-finals. Despite Atleti’s 2-0 loss to Santos Laguna in their last domestic season match, they secured the seventh spot in the standings, edging out Club Leon based on goal difference. Club Leon, on the other hand, secured their place by staging a comeback and defeating Juarez 2-1 in their recent game.
In an unexpectedly successful season, Atletico San Luis, initially anticipated to undergo rebuilding, secured a spot in the play-in round for the second time in three Apertura campaigns. Their strong start, winning six of the first nine league fixtures, propelled them to qualification. However, a dip in form from matchday 10 to the end of the season saw them collect only four points and concede multiple goals in six matches. Atleti’s success was notable at home, where they secured five of their seven victories and scored over half of their goals. Finishing seventh with 23 points marked their best performance since rejoining Liga MX in 2019.
Leon secured a crucial victory on matchday 17, overcoming an early setback and winning only their second domestic match this season after conceding the opening goal, keeping their Apertura title hopes alive. Throughout the league campaign, the Guanajuato club relied on a solid defense, conceding a goal or fewer in 13 matches. Despite winning just one away game, they held a winning position three other times but dropped seven points when leading in the second half on the road. While conceding seven fewer goals than the previous campaign, Leon faced challenges in away matches, conceding 15 of 22 goals on the road.
Atletico San Luis probable starting lineup: A. Sanchez, Chavez, Dominguez, Bilbao, Sanabria, Dourado, Guemez, Damm, Villalpando, Murillo, Bonatini
Club Leon probable starting lineup: Cota, Moreno, Frias, Tesillo, Rodriguez, Hernandez, J. Rodriguez, Ambriz, B. Sanchez, Vinas, Lopez
